to the case Of the bark Excelsior, which ar.
rived at the lower quarantine station OF
louisiana, below New Orleans, from the
port of Rio, after passage OF about sixty
days during the summer of about 1879 or
1850, and after having undergone fumiga-
ton and disinfection proceeded to the Guy
of New Orleans, and, after breaking the
bulk of her cargo of coffee, one Of the. crew
was taken down with yellow fever. Again,
the fumigation which is insufficient to de-
stroy rats and other verlnin will scarcely
destroy the poison of a virulent dis
ease. In conclusion beg to say that the
system as practiced by the Tampa and
Havana line of steamships has thus far
afforded perfect immunity from disease
that if faithfully adhered TO it will probably
continue 70 afford immunity, and the
danger of the introduction of yellow fever
through that channel has, in my judgment,
been reduced to the smallest degree posi-
bic, with the maintenance at the same time
of rapid communication with the port OF
Havana. Very truly yours,

THE BOARD OF EDUCATION.
The Abolition of Corporal Punishment
Reviewed.


AT the monthly meeting of the Board OF
Education the reports of the Superintend-
emit and several committees were received.
The following resolutions were then read
and adopted:
BY Col. Estill--
Rescued, That the examination TO fill the va.
cancy in the Barnard street school be postponed
until the regular examination OF teachers IN Sep
TENDER next.
By Capt. Blum
Resotced, That the Superintendent request
each teacher of the city schools 10 make writ
ter report stating therein his or her experience
in reference 10 the abolition Of corporal punish
ment; whether same has been beneficial 10 the
discipline of the attendants or otherwise.
The Superintendent submitted reports
from the principals Of all the public schools,
excepting one Of the colored schools, in re-
gard to the number of scholars suspended
for violations of the rules. The report
showed that only one scholar had been re-
ported to the Superintendent for expulsion,
and his mother had been per-
mitted to withdraw him. Several
temporary suspensions, for limited periods,
were reported. The reports exhibited
a very creditable state of discipline in the
schools under the anti-corporal system es-
tablished at the beginning Of the scholastic
year.
A claim for compensation for reduction
in salary of one of the teachers some years
ago was referred TO the Finance Committee.

TWO SUDDEN DEATHS.
A Seaman and Railroad Hand Drop
Dead.


Dead.
Coroner Dixon held an inquest Yesterday
morning on the body of a man known as
John Brown, who was found dead ON the
premises of Lille Mey, on South Broad
street, between Habersham and Price. The
man is German and his real name is I'M
pronounceable by an American tongue, so
he was called John Brown by every one who
knew him. He was an oiler in the engine
room of the steamer Gate City. No post
moTtem was held, but it was thought that
the man died of congestion as the testimony
showed that he. had worked very hard on
Monday and had gone into shower bath
before he cooled off.
Capt Dixon was called TO investigate
somewhat similar case on Monday night
A negro named Randall Williams had been
working during the day on the Savannah,
Florida and Western railroad, near the
Charleston junction. In the evening he and
several other men took hand car and came
into the city, and Williams worked one OF
the cranks Of the car AT the Bolton street
crossing they stopped, and picking up their
dinner buckets started for home. Williams
walked a few steps then sat down on the
track, and in a few moments fell over dead
As there We're no suspicious circumstances
attending the death it was attributed TO
natural causes and no post mortem was
rnada

A THIRD TRIAL DENIED.
Fogarty's Motion for a New Tria
OVerruled,


The motion for new trial in the case of
Thomas Fogarty was overruled yesterday
by Judge Adams, who SAID in his opinion
that some of the grounds cited by the coun-
sci for Fogarty why a new trial should be
granted were based upon the refusal of the
court to continue the case. There was, he
said, no merit in these grounds. Others
were based upon the refusal of the court to
embody in its charge TO the jury
certain requests of the counsel. Judge
Adams said that a reference to these re-
quests would show sufficient reason for their
refusal. The main reasons urged why
a new trial should be granted were that GER
tain jurors were incompetent, because they
had formed and expressed opinions as to the
guilt or innocence Of the defendant As to
the expression Of opinion, he said that the
affidavits of Evans and Helnken satisfac-
torily explained the charges against them
Speaking Of the jurors who were said to
have formed opinions Judge Adams said
that the jurors specified had been received
by the State without objection by the de-
PENDANT. In determining the question Of
competency the court had held that, the
formation and expression of an opinion did
not disqualify Juror unless that opinion
was formed from having seen
the crime committed, or heard the testirno-
ny, or part of the testimony given under
oath. The jurors in this case had not formed
an opinion from either, but from a syn
opsis of the testimony published in the
newspapers; that no part Of the testimony
given under oath had ever been published,
but only the reporters impression Of 1t, and
the court did not deem it necessary to
consider the question, whether an opinion
formed from reading a newspaper rendered
q juror incompetent, for it was too plain
for argument that an opinion from reading
only an unofficial and unauthorized news
paper synopsis did not render incompetent
juror who was otherwise unprejudiced
and impartial.
The application of rules other than those
provided by the Statute for Judging of the
competency of jurors would frequently rem
der the administration Of justice impracti-
cable, exercise intelligence, enthrone igno-
rance, and invite corruption in the jury
box, because of the circulation Of newspa-
pers and the general diffusion Of knowledge
Judge Adams said that the discretion of the
court had been fairly exercised in reopening
the case and allowing Drs. Duncan and
Fogartys fit, to which reopening the de-
PENDANTS counsel had objected The
evidence, he said, demanded q verdict
of guilty. 1t was not claimed that
the defendant was less accountable at the
time Of the shooting than at the time Of the
trial, yet no plea of insanity had been fled.
The medical expert who had been called by
the defendants counsel had testified that
Fogarty was unaccountable because he was
an epileptic, that all epileptics were unac-
countable and ought to be kept under
restraint but the demand of this defendant
was for unrestrained liberty.

THE OPENING OF THE TYBEE ROAD.
The Ballasting Nearing Completion
WHY Trains Are Not Running

The Ballasting Nearing Completion
Why Trains Are Not Running.
The Tybee railroad will be completed and
ready for travel in a very few days, in fact,
che managers expect to have IL open on Sun
day though the official announc ement has
not been made. Trains could be run now,
but they would interfere with other work
and the desire Of the directors is that every
thing shall be complete before opening the
road. For the past month there have been
three 10 four dirt trains running every day,
hauling sand from Fort Barlow and the hills
in Tybee, TO ballast the road bed. These
rains aggregate 100 trips day, and it is
because the running of passenger trains
would retard its completion and not because
they cannot be run over the road, that the
operiIg has been delayed for week.

Grading the Lanes.

The late rains have developed the fact that
Broughton street lane, between Bull and
Whitaker streets, was much higher than the
coping around the cellars and that water
ran off into the latter instead of the drains.
This change of grade in the lane is owing to
its having been gradually filed up with
debris made in AUDITING stores and putting
up new buildings. The street force has been
at work for several days past digging out
the lane and bringing it down to the grade.
